It should be
noted that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, promoted and implemented by the
Assemblies of God headquarters is almost completely based on the occultic
teachings of Carl Jung. Go to the MBTI website and see for yourself. Here
is their site:
http://www.mbtitoday.org/model.html and
www.myersbriggs.org/
Here are my two
letters to Gabriele Rienas. She is the wife of Dr. Werner Rienas, Pastor of
Life Church, an Assembly of God Church in Aloha, Oregon. Website:
http://www.lifeonweb.org.
She is also a Professional Counselor at Christian Counseling Centers of
Oregon , Inc., website:
http://www.cccow.org/
Gabriele Reinas
is also a regular columnist for the Assembly of God's
Enrichment
Journal,
where the following quote in my letter to her was taken:
http://enrichmentjournal.ag.org/200603/200603_070_Blahs_sb_QA.cfm
To date, Mrs.
Reinas has failed to respond to both of my letters of appeal.
The Enrichment Journal
is not the only place the AOG promotes
temperament divination. The AOG also promotes it as the heart of their
We Build People (I have
confronted the leaders of this program as well and typically none responded),
which is the equivalent of Rick Warren's SHAPE Questionnaire and program.
There you will see that the AOG also promotes Florence Littauer's
Personality Profile which is based on Greek Paganism. Here is the proof:

You
should require proof that the Assembly of God leaders are championing these
magic arts. So here it is:

Dear
Gabriella Rienas,
I just
happened to discover your article entitled:
The Pastors
Wife: Beating the Blahs of Ministry posted
on the
Enrichment
Journal
in which you talk about Personality Profiling where you state:
"There are various tools to help people
discover their strengths. Some churches or counseling centers offer
personality profiles such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
or the DISC® Profile. The Clifton StrengthsFinder a resource
for readers of the book, Now Discover Your Strengths
by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O.
Clifton, is a user-friendly tool accessible on the Web. These kinds of
assessments often confirm what one already knows but may have been
reluctant to admit. In the end, what one learns from using these tools
can be empowering and motivating. When a pastors wife finds the freedom
to be herself, she can be firm, but kind, regarding the unrealistic
expectations set by the congregation."
As you no
doubt know, the AOG uses a program called "We Build People" which is
AOG's version of Rick Warren's SHAPE Program.
So I would
like to appeal you to consider the roots of Rick Warren's Personality
Profiling questionnaire (the "P" in his SHAPE) Program. It is described
in Chapter 11 of my book
Who's
Driving the Purpose Driven Church?
available online at:
http://www.abrahamic-faith.com/James/personality-profiling.html
I am also
taking the liberty of sending you a PDF file of my second book on Warren
which was just released and will be in print in a few weeks entitled:
Rick
Warren's Global Peace Plan vs. Scriptural Teachings on Peace,
also published by Southwest Radio Church.

regards in Christ,

AOG practices sorcery with DISC profiler
Dear
Gabriella,
Here is
more proof that AOG's
We Build
People
program which uses DISC Personality Profiling is based on Carl Jung
and William Marsden, the inventor of Wonder Woman comic strip in which
he inverts the female bondage Carl Jung archetype with the male bondage
archetype:

And here
DISC makes no bones about how they employ it in astrology...also
condemned in Scripture:
http://www.astroprofile.com/
As you can see,
even DISC websites themselves concede that this personality profiling was
based on Carl Jung who in turn self-confessed he got his personality
temperament profiling by practicing divination from a demonic spirit guide
he named Philemon. So, doesn't the AOG believe what the Bible says about
divination, that it is an abomination to the Lord?
But this does
not stop the AOG from using it and causing its members to thereby practice
sorcery. Rick Warren compounds his sin by requiring his members to take his
Jung-embedded SHAPE program.
As Paul would
say I am astonished....oh foolish American's and AOG leaders, who hath
bewitched you.
So AOG
Matriarch Dr. Opal Reddin was right in her letter of appeal to all AOG
Pastors on her deathbed.
I am compelled
to further remind you of my chapter on Warren's SHAPE Temperament fraud at:

Another expose
on DISC Profiling is found at:
http://www.psychoheresy-aware.org/discarddisc13_5.html
Assemblies of
God also promote Ken Voge's Personality Profiling, so-called Christian
version of DISC.
Imagine the
Apostle PAUL SAYING..."WELL I GO TO THE ICHTHUS ORACLE OF DELPHI!" For those
Christians who think DISC is useful or even harmless fun, I remind them of
the Scriptures that warn that the early Christians in the Book of Acts
burned these kinds of scrolls while Rick Warren, the AOG and the Southern
Baptist new President Frank Page conducts Purpose-Driven teachings at his
own church and promote them and many even make them binding for church
membership and job applications.
As to dream
interpretation, this is still another false teaching of Carl Jung being
promoted in the church and central to his personality and psychology
theories. In the Bible NO MAN ever interpreted a dream. God revealed the
interpretation within Scripture itself. The next time some Christian
counselor or psychotherapist tells you they can interpret your dreams, tell
them what Nebuchadnezzar told the astrologers and magicians who said they
could interpret the king's dream if he would but just tell them what the
dream was. Nebuchadnezzar said, no you tell me what the dream was first,
then interpret it. Of course, no one could do that! Later on, Daniel did not
even do it on his own, by his own wisdom (which was great) but by God's
revelation. And no man or woman on earth is going to be able to interpret
your dreams either. So they are useless! The next time a licensed or
unlicensed dream therapist tells you they can interpret your dream to help
you with your problem or behavior or future, ask them to first tell you what
your dream was!
Finally, Ken
Voge's DISC uses four animals to describe 4 temperaments, just like Gary
Smalley has done in his personality profiling where you figure out what
animal you are. But animals and humans were created after their own kind, so
there can be no biblical justification for the connection, particularly
because animal behavior is governed by instinct while human behavior is
governed by conscience and the leading of the Holy Spirit...unless you
believe in evolution which Carl Jung (DISC roots) and most of the major
psychologist theorists believe(d) in. Evolutionists love integrating animal
behavior into their humanist psychology because they think humans are
animals...just more highly evolved. And remember, in the Bible, animal-like
behavior (i.e., "brute beasts, unreasoning animals") was a sign of a
reprobate mind...a judgment that God turns people over to for refusing the
knowledge of the truth and what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar because of
his pride. We don't want to discover, model our behavior or modify it based
on the personality of an animal. There is no Scriptural foundation for this
whatsoever....if anything the Bible says the opposite. Jesus Christ did not
die to save or even sanctify animals because of their sins which is
impossible for them to do because of their nature. And God made animals
lower than man.
Animals are
used as images in a positive sense in the Bible, for example Jesus is BOTH
the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God...but these are used primarily as
symbols or images for prophecy and functions of Jesus Christ, and not to
determine personality or to perform behavior divination. Most importantly,
when the Bible uses animals as symbols it defines their interpretation and
limitation.
By assigning
meanings to animals for spiritual purposes is going beyond what is written
in Scripture. Voges uses the lion, otter, bear, and dog. But Jesus Christ
called the Pharisees dogs to describe their character (not their
personality). And why doesn't Voges use a dragon, a sloth, and elephant, or
a viper for temperament types? After all these are animals named in the
Bible right? Four different animals were used in Daniel's vision of empires
(lion, bear, leopard, and fourth beast with great iron teeth). So why
doesn't Voges use these animals...particularly since they are already listed
as four animals in the context of one of dreams? Or why doesn't Voge employ
a goat or sheep? But this would present still another problem. The same kind
of animal is sometimes presented in the Bible with opposite descriptions,
depending on the context. Sheep are used in both a positive and negative
connotation. Positive in that my sheep hear my voice, we are the sheep of
his pasture, and Jesus Christ separates the sheep from the goats when he
judges the nations. But sheep are also dumb and we all, like sheep, have
gone astray. Why does Voge select a mammal in his personality theory? Why
not a bird or fish? Why not an insect or trylobyte? And why a Golden
Retriever for a dog? Why not a toy poodle or Saint Bernard or a Pit Bull (a
great protector which can be a ferocious attacker but also gentle, kind and
loyal to its master)? And why a domesticated dog vs. a wild dog? And why not
have all four major delineations of traits be dogs? Why not four horses?
After all, if you want to be biblical, the Apocalypse is described as four
horses in Revelation, and four horses are used in Zechariah as well in
describing judgments on the earth. Who decides what animal to pick and how
to measure the traits or calibrate them? Conclusion: the DISC profiling and
all temperament personality profiling is all based on pagan superstition,
evolution, magic arts, and divination. And it is as Paul would say science,
falsely so called. Even the Meyers Briggs Temperament Profiler, also
promoted by the AOG has a logo banner on their site called the Philemon
Foundation, so named after Carl Jung's demonic spirit-guide. But this has
not stopped the leaders of the AOG or Ted Haggard, President of National
Association of Evangelicals, whose New Life Church is also a client of DISC.
